Legends II: Volume I

New Short Novels by the Masters of Modern Fantasy

De: Anne McCaffrey, George R.R. Martin

Narrado por: Graeme Malcolm, Alyssa Bresnahan

Fantasy fans, rejoice! Seven years after writer and editor Robert Silverberg made publishing history with Legends, his acclaimed anthology of original short novels by some of the greatest writers in fantasy fiction, the long-awaited second volume is here. Legends II picks up where its illustrious predecessor left off.

Each of the best-selling writers represented in Legends II return to the special universe of the imagination that its author has made famous throughout the world. Whether set before or after events already recounted elsewhere, whether featuring beloved characters or compelling new creations, these masterful short novels are both mesmerizing stand-alones (perfect introductions to the work of their authors) and indispensable additions to the epics on which they are based.

George R.R. Martin continues the adventures of Dunk, a young hedge knight, and his unusual squire, Egg, in "The Sworn Sword", set a generation before the events in A Song of Ice and Fire.

Anne McCaffrey shines a light into the most mysterious and wondrous of all places on Pern in the heartwarming "Beyond Between".

"Warmly recorded escapism for fans of fantasy." (AudioFile)

Martin Is Flawless and McCaffrey Gets It Done

Martin's continuing story of Dunk and Egg is very well done. I wish that I had more and this one has pushed me into trying some other works by Martin. I can't wait for the next volume of Song of Fire and Ice. The performance from Malcolm is a huge step up from the first Legends and the story is fantastic.
I enjoyed McCaffrey's story but it is just not my type of story. It is well done but I could have lived without it.

Nice book

I liked It, good stories, but there ia sometthing wrong around 45 minutes of the last chapter, there is maybe a paragraph missing

George R.R. Martin worth the price of admission!

For those of us waiting for the next GRRM book, this is a great appetizer to tide us over before the feast. Plus it continues the story Dunk and Egg from the first Legends. The narrator is excellent. I'm not a Pern fan, but if you are you might enjoy that one also.

loved both

G.R.R. Martin was a continuing of another short story of his and I loved that.
and as a life long fan of Anne Mccaffrey and Pern - the story brought me to tears.
highly recommended!

Both storys are good

I downloaded this book for the Anne McCaffrey story she is one of favorite authors. I found both storys good. The Anne McCaffery story 'Beyond Between' explains what happens to Dragon riders who get stuck in between. It was very intertaining and inlightning but way too short.

The very best! thankful for a happy ending!

Loved this little side ending! It looks like dragon riders should not ride dragons they did not impress!

I NEED MORE G.R.R MARTIN BOOKS!!!

Any additional comments?

I HAVE READ TWO SO FAR THIS BOOK AND WARRIORS,I CANT WAIT TO LISTEN TO THE OTHER TWO,THEIR QUICK AND TO THE POINT.

Beyond Between

A bridging short story to explain the Moretta saga. A little weak on story development, but then this is a fantasy World.
To have more information on what happened, is very nice, this does provide a form of closure for a very loved character from the series.

Watch Out for Obsenities

Did not think much of either of these books.
Really George, are all the obscenities necessary?
